80 gr seirra over 44.5 gr of H380 works in mine. Reduce load by 10% and work up slowly. Best of luck

RE: LOAD FOR 6MM REMINGTON

I have the same rifle, and my load is a 85 grain sierra gameking over 39 grains hodgdon varget powder. I recommend reducing the load by 10% and working it up because several variables primer, case, COL etc may be different then my finished load. good luck

RE: LOAD FOR 6MM REMINGTON

Thanks for the info. guys. I picked up a box of remington 100gr at the store when i bought the gun just to use to start to break it in. I am getting a reloading kit next month for my birthday or sooner if i can talk her into it! What would be a good brand of brass to use for the 6mm

thanks

remington brass would be fine, but winchester would be better
